Firstly, thank you for this fine tool.
You are welcome. :-)
I use it on almost all recoveries, as I never know whether the drive is at fault or not when I get a non-working computer which I am asked to revive.
Good idea!
There is one peculiarity I have noticed, however: ddrescue is starting fast and subsequently slowing down during the copy process.

The usb disk is ntfs formatted (because I need it also to be accessible in Windows), so all data is going through the mount.ntfs-3g driver.
Some users have already reported this when writing to an ntfs partition. It seems to be a problem with the ntfs-3g driver or format. See for example the following message:
